The -1~exp1 revision is used to have the experimental versions precede the -1 upload to unstable. Backports of uploads to the Debian archive should likewise precede the version uploaded by appending a ~ revision. Otherwise you risk breaking upgrades. This is documented in the policy too: " PPA for Ubuntu by UbuntuGIS The UbuntuGIS team maintains Personal Package Archives (PPA) on Launchpad, where packages are backported for Ubuntu. Please keep in mind issues like the possibility to upgrade to the next Ubuntu stable release. Packages that are backports can be made inferior in version by using a tilde. If the package contains additional development, a version number without the tilde will make it higher, but not as high as the next Debian revision. For example: 2.12.0-1~natty1 (backport in PPA) < 2.12.0-1 (from Debian in Ubuntu) < 2.12.0-1natty1 (in PPA, containing additions) < 2.12.0-2 (from Debian in Ubuntu).

UbuntuGIS backports append their distribution specific ~ revision to the version they are backporting from Debian, just like backport do in Debian: http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/#index6h3 Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1 _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list Ubuntu@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
